Consistent tee

#This invention relates to sports accessories, specifically to a means of setting a golf tee at a consistent, predetermined length above the ground.

#To a golfer, an important variable is the height above the ground of the golf tee. Once a golfer determines the proper positioning of a tee, it is vital that he or she be able to position tees at that same height regardless of the condition of the ground or the length of the tee. Various means have been used to achieve this.

#For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,671,037 discloses a golf tee setter-positioner. This device is complex, very massively constructed, and is too large to comfortably carry.

#FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the first embodiment of the present invention.

#FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the second embodiment of the present invention.

#FIG. 3 is a side view of the first embodiment of the present invention in use.

#In accordance with the present invention, the first embodiment of the present invention may be made of metal, heavy plastic, or other economic and easily worked material and is shown generally at 10 (FIG. 1). This embodiment comprises “T” section 20 and end caps 60 with optional stroke counter 61 and 62. “T” section 20 comprises horizontal section 40 and vertical section 30. Vertical section 30 has three or more holes 50 drilled through both sides.

#FIG. 2 shows the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is simpler in construction, comprising top cap 145 and vertical section 130.

#Stroke counters 61, 155 comprise a series of numbers inscribed, printed, or otherwise indelibly placed around its outer surface. Vertical section 130 has three or more holes 150 drilled through both sides. Marks 62, 165 are inscribed, printed, or otherwise indelibly placed at the top. To use stroke counters 61, 155, the golfer turns top cap 60, 145 until the desired number is positioned opposite the respective mark 62, 165.
